'I ditched Charlotte Tilbury for an 'instant filter' £10 foundation that looks flawless - I always get compliments'

Beauty lovers are showering praise on a £12.99 foundation and concealer set that creates 'flawless' skin that looks like it 'has a filter on'. The budget foundation, which costs £10 on its own, has racked up more than 1700 five-star reviews online, and is being compared to premium brands such as Estee Lauder, Bobbi Brown and Charlotte Tilbury.

Revolution Beauty's £10 IRL Filter foundation is available in a diverse range of 30 shades spanning all undertones. The budget foundation offers medium to buildable coverage and sets to a soft-focus matte finish.

It has been enriched with niacinamide for a skincare boost, while the oil-free formula provides up to 16 hours of wear without creasing, smudging or going cakey. The £10 Charlotte Tilbury dupe foundation has thousands of glowing reviews on the Revolution Beauty website.

Awarding the £10 foundation five stars, one beauty lover wrote: "This is my new holy grail and I’m comparing it to some pretty high end foundations. I only need two pumps for my entire face and that is more than enough for the coverage I like.

"For reference I have oily, acne prone skin.. I’m on medications for my acne and this foundation has not broke me out in any way, along with that it does an incredible job at keeping away the oil. I am already scared of the day this could be discontinued because it’s that good and I love it so much lol."

Another said: "Long-lasting, flawless finish, high coverage, fantastic colour match." A third wrote: "Love the quality, excellent coverage, I use a pump with a fluffy brush and still have excess, I have had many compliments on this foundation."

Another compared it to expensive designer brands: “I buy loads of high end foundations. From Bobbi Brown to KVD to Too Faced but this one is my new favourite. I was so shocked how good my skin looked outside, I kept looking at myself and people gave compliments! Beyond happy! Amazing finish and great price.”

A reviewer called Vickie said: “If you are like me and always searching for a perfect full coverage matte foundation, this is the make up for you . This brand never fails to impress me . I have visible pores and when using a good primer this foundation always provides flawless coverage. I've used other foundations with the same primer and they haven't been as good and have left the pores showing.”

Revolution Beauty's matching IRL Filter Finish Concealer provides instant coverage for blemishes, dark circles and fine lines. The ultra-buildable, full coverage concealer has a breathable soft matte formulation, so say goodbye to that cakey feeling.

It’s comfortable to wear and promises to stay put for 16 hours. It has been enriched with VTOX (okra extract) and hyaluronic acid to make your skin feel smooth & plumped.

A five-star review of the concealer read: "This is now my favourite concealer, blends beautifully, lasts all day I should know I get up at 3.30am. Only issue I've found is getting the correct colours for different areas, I wish u could buy a tester pack."

Another said: "I really liked this concealer, it is matte but not dry, it lasts very well all day. I would say the coverage is medium. I really liked combining it with the relove "super matte" foundation, with this together you get full coverage. Even so, for daily I really like medium coverage concealers and this is being one of my favorites"

A third five-star reviewer penned: "I have quite bad psoriasis around my right eye and this covered the red blotchy marks perfectly!"

Boots shoppers are also are heaping praise on a £14 budget foundation that airbrushes skin to 'perfection', and lasts all day long without budging.

Max Factor's Facefinity All Day Flawless Foundation is a full-coverage liquid foundation which also features a built-in primer and concealer. The foundation, which can be found at Boots, also contains SPF - making it a four-in-one product which can substantially decrease how much shoppers are spending on a beauty routine.
